PRACTICE 06 — TECHNICAL STAFF AUGMENTATION
Senior people on your team, for as long as you need them.
Not every project needs a whole consultancy. Sometimes what is missing is an architect for three months, developers to get the backlog moving or a tech lead to run a migration. We place experienced professionals who join your team, your tools and your pace — without the cost and lead time of a hire.
ARCHITECT
Solutions architect
Per project or on a monthly retainer, for the technical decisions that need someone with experience.
- Architecture design and review, stack decisions, evaluation of vendors and tools
- A seat in meetings with the business and with vendors, turning requirements into technical decisions
- Technical mentoring for the team and review of critical deliverables
- Architecture documentation the team can maintain afterwards
DEVELOPERS
Specialist developers
Specialists in the technology your project already runs on, with years of experience in enterprise systems.
- .NET, Java, Node.js and Python on the back end; React, Angular and Vue on the front end; mobile with React Native
- They join your sprint, follow your code review process and ship from week one
- Mid-level and senior profiles, full-stack or specialised, depending on what the project needs
- One professional or a squad, adjusted as demand changes
TECH LEAD
Technical lead
Takes over an existing team, organises delivery and bridges business and engineering.
- Standards, workflow, code review and definition of done
- Sprint planning and tracking, unblocking and technical debt management
- Ideal for teams that grew without technical leadership or for critical projects on a deadline
- Prepares the team to run on its own when the engagement ends
DATA
Database specialist
For teams with a database that needs continuous attention, not just a one-off project.
- Administration and optimization of PostgreSQL, SQL Server and MySQL on a monthly hours basis
- Query and modelling review alongside developers, before code reaches production
- Monitoring, backups, upgrades and database incident response
- Migrations and growth planned by someone who knows the system's history
AI
AI and LLM engineer
For teams putting AI into production who need someone who has done it before.
- Integration with Claude, GPT and open models, RAG, agents and MCP servers
- Building evaluation sets, guardrails and quality and cost monitoring
- Working with the product team to pick the use cases that are worth it
- Practice transfer: the team learns to maintain and evolve what was built
SQUAD
Custom squad
When the demand is bigger than one person: a team assembled for your project, technical leadership included.
- Composition defined with you — architect, developers, data, QA — according to scope
- One technical point of contact accountable for the whole team's delivery
- Scales up or down with the phases of the project
- A proven delivery process, adapted to your team's tools and rituals
